Manchester is best known as a hotelier and businessman in the San Diego area.

But he's also one of the most aggressive and richest opponents of same-sex marriage. His six-figure donation to the Prop 8 campaign made him one of his hotels the target of a boycott. (He also was the target of a labor union boycott over unionization).

Now he's the owner of one of the state's largest newspapers.

The fight for marriage equality, already a long and tough fight, just got longer and tougher today in California.
